can this be used to hang a large plastic framed poster in a dorm room without damaging the walls?

I don't think so. I remember there was a kind of messy spot after I removed it from a test surface.

I don't think so. It is made from a plastic that would likely break if you tried to make some additions to hang it.

I'd say the two best options are sticky poster tack or those very thin gold nails. I can't remembee their specific name, but they are really skinny so they won't leave big holes in your wall or be very noticable on the poster.

As long as the dorm room has a closet with a door that opens and swings out. Not sliding doors. It is a bit delicate but, it comes in very handy for some ironing. I like it and find it to be very helpful. It would have to be used only as an ironing board. It would not hold anything heavy. I hope you found this helpful.

Yes but use caution. Drywall is probably fine but I wouldn't if its a plaster wall. I managed to use a very heavy picture, about 20lbs probably, without finding the stud. I expected it to come crashing down but it's holding still. It's not preferred but so far so good. Just use the 3 prong hanger.

You could possibly hot glue it to something on the wall, like a command hook, it has a flat plastic back. So i would say you could try, but not sure how well it would hold.

Very doubtful. It could not stay up for me at 115-118 lbs. In my home I drilled 3 small holes each side for the setting. Now it is very secure and holds my husband at 170 lbs. My door frame is wood. If your dorm doorframe is steel, you might get a better seal.

I have only used it to attach posters to the wall. Very little Blu-Tack is required for that, but I do not believe it was meant for heavy duty jobs like the one you are describing.

Marcia, I have always been able to support heavy posters and some other decorative items. Anchoring items in four corners or areas assures the best success. Also, this product has enough resiliency to stay up for a good amount of time. When removing it, gently roll it off the surface, don't simply pull. Hope this is helpful. Barb W.

I suppose if you used heavy duty double sided material like is used to secure posters etc. it might work. It is fairly light but with a lot of use, I'm not sure it would stay attached for long.

Yes. They're not like the nails you'd get with cheap picture hangers, but more like thick/long tacks (very strong) tacks. They do minimal damage to walls and can be easily pulled out if you need /want to reposition you frames for any reason. These hangers are the best for hanging art /photos flush on the wall. Definitely pay attention to the weight limit of the hangers you're getting - they range from 10 lbs to 500 lbs. The size of the hanger differs, as well as the length /thickness of the tack.

Yes I think so. I would put a 2x6x55" or so. You woul want to catch three studs so it does not rock the wall. Let it hang over each stud a little so when you screw a 3" screw through the 2x4 in to the stud it does not split the end of the board. I have a 100lb bag hanging and the wall does not even creek. You would need three 2x6's going across. All the lag bolts would go through the bracket, 2x6 Sheetrock and then stud. 4"lag screw works perfect

It depends! I know that is not an answer but here are my thoughts. The plastic is only about 1/8" thick so a sign on a bracket will be stressing the attachment screws. However, if you have installed the post over a 4x4 wooden post you might be able to use long 1/4" hangar bolts into the wooden post and thread a nut just up to the plastic. Then attach the sign bracket to it with another nut. If this is not clear, send me your email address and I will send a drawing. I am at jlfunk@optonline.net. Good luck

I am sure you could. It is just like a thick paper. You may just want to try the poster tack stuff instead of staples.

It depends on what you are attaching them to. The picture hanger would not be the first thing to fail. The weak link will be the connection between the hanger and the frame or the hanger and the wall. Don't figure on more than 2 or 3 pounds.

I'm not sure how you would attach it. If I did hang it I wouldn't want to put much weight on it. I hope this helps

Depends on how you put it up. My sister, for whom I got this poster, put it in a frame and hung it up. With wall putty or anything similar, I'm assuming the ease with which the poster sticks on the wall would depend on the putty.
